My mom’s friend introduced me to astrology about 10 years ago.
It helped me greatly to understand myself and see how different and unique we all are.

I use it as much to better my knowledge of enemies as well as friends - why, sometimes it even inspires me to have pity toward them!

I was not attracted to astrology in the beginning...in fact it seemed the stupidest thing I had ever heard of! The stars up in the sky have something to do with who I am...what I am?! Ridiculous! And insulting to me and to all those who believed this garbage!

So I became determined to prove astrology FALSE. I first learned all the rules from a basic astrology books and then began to apply them in interpreting my own chart. However, the interpretations I ended up with all made some kind of sense to me. I studied different books and discovered that they all AGREED on the basic interpretations of the aspects in my chart (some detail differences, but the "big picture" was the same).

I became desperate to disprove this absurd theory called astrology, and started doing other people's charts, first my immediate family, then the charts of friends, people I was temping for...I was off the wall! And each time I found that the interpretation of the chart MADE SENSE. That the people themselves could relate to what I found in the chart...even though I knew NOTHING about their life except for the aspects in the chart!

I FINALLY accepted that there might...just MIGHT...be SOMETHING to astrology. So I subscribed to Horoscope magazine and began following the descriptions they had in there of "star charts" (charts of famous people). And these, too, made sense. I recreated the charts on an astrology program I had been given and followed along with the book, recreating the charts and carefully following the description of every aspect so I could understand where the author was getting their conclusions from.

And, finally, the ultimate test...doing charts for people I have NEVER seen and never WILL see, using the web. I reasoned that, if I said things that made no sense about a complete stranger, they would be likely to defend themselves! However, the few responses I received were all positive, AGREEING with the things I mentioned.

And so, I became a GREAT believer in the power of astrology and have tried to spread awareness of it as much as I can, creating a web site dedicated to basic astrology, so people can quickly self-test astrology on themselves. Later, as they discover the power of astrology, they can come to an awareness of themselves they may never have had before...and then they can help others to come to a similar self-understanding.

That, at least, is my fantasy...but I am working at it...one person at a time!

Astro-prophetising,

I'm a work in progress and very thankful for all the things I've learned about myself; good, bad and indifferent.

It was June 28,1998,I completely opened my mind to Astrology. I had a numerology reading at a psychic fair that was amazingly accurate. The day before, I had readings(including pastlife reading) at psychic fair that were accurate. I bought a book on Scorpio. I read it deeply, I could resonate with the Scorpio stuff,but I felt my mom was like the Scorpio mother too even though she's a Gemini. I could identify with the traits of a Scorpio. I learned about moonsigns,and there was a moon table...I found out that my moonsign is Pisces,and I checked out the traits of Pisces, and they fit me to T. They were the traits that I have which my Scorpio didn't have. That really opened up my eyes to Astrology. On a hunch, I checked to see if my Gemini mother's moonsign is Scorpio,and I was right. That really blew me away.

When I was stationed in Diego Garcia, I read people their sunsigns and their moonsigns, they really identified with the traits. I bought astrology reports,and I was blown away by the accuracy. My mother even agreed with the accuracy. We were convinced that Astrology was a cosmic form of psychology. I learned about my being a psychic,emotional sponge because of reading my Astrology reports and reading about Moon in Pisces. even realized that having Moon in Pisces AND Moon square Neptune indicated that I was too much of a sponge,and that I didn't belong in the navy. I realized that I was absorbing people's negatively bigtime. I realized that I needed to get out of the navy. I was very depressed and stressed a lot in the navy. I was constantly on ships with very low morale. I was often depressed,stressed out to sea. I was always around guys who missed their wives,children,girlfriends,and were homesick..especially when we went on 6 month deployments.

To make the long story short, I became a major believer in Astrology. Reading about Carl Jung using Astrology for psychological insights got me seriously into psychological Astrology. I started reading anything that I get my hands on that had to do with Astrology. I read stuff over and over and over again until I absorbed it on a deep level. I devoted my life to helping others with Astrology to use it to help understand themselves as it helped to understand me.

None of this would be possible if my fellow Pisces Moon grandfather didn't commit suicide. It was during a Pisces Moon in 1999,I had a hunch that he had Moon in Pisces. His suicide was the catalyst got me returned to my believing in God again and opened the door to my metaphysical journey that eventually led me to Astrology.

I accurately guessed my father had Pisces Moon like me in 1998. On Dec 31,2003 My guess was finally confirmed when I found him in California death record index and got his birthdate info. He was born Jan 2, 1941. I accurately guessed the moonsigns of both my parents. Mother - Scorpio Moon and my Father - Pisces Moon. my girlfriend is a Scorpio Moon and I am Pisces Moon.

Astrology is incredibly insightful. It's a shame that it's dismissed as a pseudoscience.

The day that I completely opened up to Astrology:
My Moon was progressed in Aquarius.

Transit Saturn in my 8th

I started getting into it more in high school and bought several books, but my knowledge was still based on sun signs alone. Then, in my early 20's I took a quiz online that asked "what's your love sign?" It told me my love sign was scorpio and I wondered why. I found a free website that would show me my full chart, and I was so fascinated. Everything made a lot more sense. When I started to interpret it, it was like solving a puzzle. The moon is what really blew me away. Sometimes I'm so piscean it's ridiculous...and I finally found out why.
